The Golden State Warriors begin a five-game road trip that begins with Saturday night's game against the Houston Rockets. The game is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. PT in Houston and can be watched on NBC Sports Bay Area.

Previously with the Warriors:

Golden State completed a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night, outscoring them 104-89 with a defensive technique. The Warriors stifled the Pelicans' star duo of Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, holding them to a combined 26 points – a drastic drop from their combined 61 points just a night earlier.

Draymond Green was the star of the defense, recording five blocks, one steal and four rebounds in addition to his offensive contributions of 14 points and six assists. After the game, he said that the outstanding performance was due to his desire to return to All-Defensive First Team and Defensive Player of the Year honors.

What to watch out for tonight:

The Warriors are another step closer to full strength as Andrew Wiggins is expected to return to the starting lineup Saturday night. While Stephen Curry and De'Anthony Melton are sidelined, the team announced that both are making good progress in healing from their respective injuries and are close to returning to practice.

In the meantime, Golden State will need its depth to compete again against this young Houston team led by Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. Green leads the Rockets with 27.6 points per game, while Sengun, the team's leading rebounder, averaged 12.4 rebounds and scored 30 points in his last match against the Warriors a year ago.

Today's game will be a good test for Golden State. They are currently the league's best team in net rating and will play a Rockets team that ranks seventh in that category. However, the two teams differ significantly in pace: Golden State is in 12th place, while Houston is at the bottom in 27th place. Expect the Warriors to try to dictate the tempo by playing fast to speed up the Rockets and throw them off their methodical attacking approach.

Have fun with the game Dub Nation. GO WARRIOR!!!
